Unexplained investment in purchase of land Rs. 68,89,250 b. Unexplained investment in purchase of land Rs. 2,21,50,000 c. Unexplained investment in construction of house Rs. 24,12,341 d.

Assessee preferred an appeal raising relevant grounds. Ld. CIT(A) in the appeal has deleted the additions made at Sl.No. (a), (d) to (f) and directed A.O. to examine (c) viz., unexplained investment in construction of house as the investments were explained by assessee through bank statements. Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the additions at item (b) and (g). Assessee is aggrieved and raised 13 grounds on these two issues.

....e registration effected as per SRO for a value of Rs. 60,56,000/- as correct, assessee should have shown the proof for the difference amount returned by the vendor. In view of the above, the AO concluded that the amount of Rs. 2,21,50,000/- mentioned in the page No. 151, represented the payments made to the land owner for purchase of land admeasuring 500 sq. yards at Kavuri Hills at the time of registration and accordingly the said amount has been treated as the unexplained investment made for purchase of property by assessee and was accordingly brought to tax. 6. Before the Ld. CIT(A) assessee made detailed submissions during the course of appellate proceedings, reiterating the facts put forth before the assessing officer. Assessee submitted the copy of the statement recorded from the vendor of plot, as an additional evidence wherein the vendor had accepted the consideration of Rs. 60,56,000/- only. An affidavit from the vendor Smt. A. Annapurna Reddy was also filed as additional evidence under rule 46A of the IT Rules. It was further argued that the notings on the loose sheet is not in the hand writing of assessee or any of her staff and the paper does not contain any reference ....

....ion shown at Rs. 60,56,000/-. Based on the contents of the agreements of the sale (page No. 146 to 150 of annexure A/FDE/l ) and the corroborate evidence as found in the lose sheet of the impounded material (page 151 of A/FDE/01), with reference to the consideration reflected in sale deed dt. 28.6.2008, the AO has arrived at the conclusion that the amount of Rs. 2,21,50,000 represent the unexplained investment of appellant being the extra/ unaccounted sale consideration paid for acquiring the property under reference. In the process, the AO disbelieved the explanation of the appellant that though the agreement was reached for sale of property for a consideration as referred in the agreement for sale, it was renegotiated subsequently on the account of location of the plot in FTL zone where permissions would not be given for any construction. In this regard, the AO further observed that no such infirmity in the land was noticed and noted that appellant has constructed the commercial complex on the same property subsequently. The AO also relied on the ratio of decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT Vs. Durga Prasad More (Supra). 7.6. On the other hand appellant cont....

The agreement for sale, though not signed by the vendors and the vendee indicate the other important ingredients of an evidence such as the details of the land/plot under transaction, such as the area of the plot the location of the plot and its genesis which were also incorporated in the sale deed executed subsequently on 28.6.2008, for sale of the same property signed by the same set of' vendors and vendees. The agreement for sale was in this case also clearly indicating the balance of the payments to be made to the extent of Rs. 2,21,50,000/- at the time of registration of the said land after reducing the amount of Rs. 74 lakhs paid in pursuance of the agreement for sale dt. 12.4.2008. Further corroboration of the evidence was indicated in the lose sheet impounded as page No.151 of A/FDE/01, indicating the payments of the balance of the amounts.

I possess the following properties on my name: I House property bearing H .No.6-1-190-25/2, Padmarao Nagar, Secunderabad - 500 025 ii. Plot No. 170, Kavuri Hills, Hyderabad, on which a commercial complex is being built." Answer to question No. 6: "The investments made only for commercial complex at Kavuri Hills on plot No. 170, to a tune of Rs. 48,24,683/- during the financial year 2008-09 and 2009-10." Thus assessee indicates that commercial property was constructed on plot No. 170 at Kavuri Hills, which is nothing but the property under reference and the same fact indicate that there is no such infirmity as attributable to the said land. 7. 10 In this case, the appellant failed to adduce any cogent evidence to substantiate the reduction in purchase price from Rs. 2,95,50,000 as agreed in the agreement for sale dt. 12.4.2008, to Rs. 60,56,000 as recorded in the sale deed dt. 28.06.2008.

....ed." 8. Ld. Counsel referring to the order of Ld. CIT(A) submitted that the CIT(A) erred in considering the facts. His first argument was that Ld. CIT(A) was confused with the two properties assessee has dealt with. His submissions are that the plot No.170 which was subject matter of deal with Mrs. Y. Annapurna Reddy was different and this property was sold subsequently as explained before authorities. However, assessee and her husband has another property on which a house was constructed on which A.O. made addition of Rs. 24,12,341 each as unexplained. Therefore, Ld. CIT(A) observations in para 7.9 were not correct factually. Moreover, the statement extracted by Ld. CIT(A) with reference to Q.5 is not from either assessee or from Mr. Muralidhar Rao, her husband. The source of such statement was not known and assessee was not in a position to explain from where Ld. CIT(A) extracted the statement. Ld. Counsel then referred to the documents on record and explanations given to submit that Ld. CIT(A) accepted the explanation with reference to purchase of agricultural lands whereas, he has not accepted the explanation with reference to the plot 170. He referred to affidavit filed, stat....

FDE is the abbreviation of assessee proprietary concern, Fair Deal Enterprise. In the statement on date of survey, assessee husband did not deny but stated that he would explain the transactions tomorrow (Q.No.24 on 03.11.2008), like the answer to many questions on transactions pertaining to FDE. A.O. did not examine whether the amount stated therein could be corroborated. The entries in document are as under : FDE 13.06.2008 5,00,000 16.06.2008 5,00,000 18.06.2008 5,00,000 20.06.2008 5,00,000 Total 20,00,000 Cash 1,50,000 Auditor 50,00,000 71,50,000 D/D to Dubai + 1,50,00,000 Interest 3,00,000 2,21,50,000 There are payments to an extent of Rs. 20,00,000 in June, 2008. Whether these payments pertain to business transactions or to the land could not be ascertained in the absence of any correlation. Even though the amount of Rs. 2,21,50,000 + Rs. 74 lakhs paid at the time of agreement of sale, do total to an amount of Rs. 2.95 crores agreed as per the agreement of sale, t....

....efore Ld. CIT(A) on the ground that the interest was not paid separately since the payments were part of EMIs paid to M/s. India Bulls. As an alternative plea, assessee submitted that M/s. India Bulls is an Income-tax assessee and interests of Revenue were not jeopardized because of the non deduction of the tax by assessee. It was further submitted that the amounts of Rs. 21,11,274/- represent the payments actually made in the financial year 2008-09 hence, the provisions of Sec. 40(a)(ia) are not applicable since such provisions are only applicable to be situation where the amounts are still payable as on 31st of March of the financial year concerned. In this regard, assessee relied on the decision of Special Bench of !TAT, Visakhapatnam in ITA.No.477/Viz/2008,dt. 29.3.2012, to substantiate her claim. 11.2. Ld. CIT(A) dismissed the ground stating as under : "12.3. Perused the observations of the AO and the submissions of the appellant. As could be seen from the assessment order, the AO has briefly mentioned that assessee paid interest of Rs. 21,11,274/- during the financial year 2008-09 to M/s. India Bulls for the loans obtained from them, without making TDS as per the provisions....

....eing the interest paid to India Bulls through EMI is disallowable as per the provisions of Sec. 40(a)(ia) and as such the order of the AO in disallowing the said amount is sustainable. Accordingly, this ground of appeal is treated as dismissed." 12. After considering the rival contentions, we are of the opinion that there is merit in assessee's contentions. First of all, A.O. has not established that the amount paid as EMI get covered by TDS provisions. Moreover, no proceedings u/s. 201(1) were initiated against assessee. Further, said India Bulls accounted the same as income, so following principle laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Hindustan Coco Cola vs. CIT 293 ITR 226 no further recovery could be made. Not only that on legal principles also, the addition could not be sustained. Even though the decision of ITAT Special Bench was stayed by Hon'ble A.P. High Court, the matter was considered by other High Courts. The Coordinate Bench in the case of DCIT vs. Ananda Marakala 150 ITD 323, has considered the issue and held as under : 13. We have considered the rival submissions. As far as the cross objection is concerned, the question for our consideratio....

It is also proposed to provide that where in respect of payment of any sum, tax has been deducted under Chapter XVII-B or paid in any subsequent year, the sum of payment shall be allowed in computing the income of the previous year in which such tax has been paid. The proposed amendment will take effect from 1st day of April, 2005 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2005- 2006 and subsequent years.

Provided that where in respect of any such sum, tax has been deducted in any subsequent year, or has been deducted during the previous year but paid after the due date specified in sub-section (1) of section 139, such sum shall be allowed as a deduction in computing the income of the previous year in which such tax has been paid." 17. From the above provision as amended by the Finance Act, 2010 with retrospective effect from 1st April, 2010 it can be seen that the only difference which this amendment has made is dispensing with the earlier two categories of defaults as per the Finance Act, 2008, as discussed in the earlier para, causing disallowance on the basis of the period of the previous year during which tax was deductible. The first category of disallowances included the cases in which tax was deductible and was so deducted during the last month of the previous year but there was failure to pay such tax on o....

The issue that arose for consideration was disallowance of expenses u/s.40(a)(ia) claimed as deduction while computing income from business being embroidery charges, dyeing charges, interest on loan and freight charges without deducting tax at source. The Embroidery charges were paid between 22nd may, 2004 to 30.11.2004. Tax had been deducted at source but were paid to the Government only on 28.10.2005 and not within the time contemplated by Section 200(1) of the Act. The dyeing charges were paid between 5.4.2004 to 20.8.2004. Tax was deducted at source but was paid to the Government only on 28.10.2005. Frieght outward charges were paid without deduction of tax at source. Interest on loans were credited to the creditors account on 31.3.2005 to the extent they were paid after the due date for filing return of income u/s. 139(1) of the Act, the disallowance was made u/s.40(a)(ia) of the Act. Before the Tribunal, the Assessee contented that the amendment by the Finance Act, 2010 with retrospective effect from 1st April, 2010 whereby amount of tax deducted at the time of making payment in respect of expenditure referred to in Sec.40(a)(ia) of the Ac....

..../02/2006 was paid by the Assessee in the month of July and August 2006 i.e., well before the due date of filing of its return of income for the year under consideration. This being the undisputed position, we hold that the disallowance made by the A.O. and confirmed by the learned CIT(A) on account of freight charges by invoking the provisions of Section 40(a)(ia) is not sustainable as per the amendments made in the said provisions by the Finance Act, 2010 which, being remedial/curative in nature, have retrospective application", we find no reason to deviate from the decisions of the ITAT's Mumbai Bench and Ahmedabad Bench, in the absence of a contrary view, except the other benches decisions or any other High Court. Therefore, respectfully following the decision of the Coordinate Benches (supra), we allow the ground nos. 1 to 3 of the assessee's appeal." 20.

Act, it can be said to be declaratory and curative in nature and therefore, should be given retrospective effect from 1st April, 2005, being the date from which sub-clause (ia) of section 40(a) was inserted by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2004. In CIT v. Alom Extrusions Ltd. [2009] 319 ITR 306/185 Taxman 416 (SC), the Hon'ble Supreme Court had to deal with the question, whether omission (deletion) of the second proviso to s. 43B of the IT Act, 1961, by the Finance Act, 2003, operated w.e.f. 1st April, 2004, or whether it operated retrospectively w.e.f. 1st April, 1988? Prior to Finance Act, 2003, the second proviso to s. 43B of the IT Act, 1961 (for short, "the Act") restricted the deduction in respect of any sum payable by an employer by way of contribution to provident fund/superannuation fund or any other fund for the welfare of employees, unless it stood paid within the specified due date. According to the second proviso, the payment made by the employer towards contribution to provident fund or any other welfare fund was allowable as deduction, if paid before the date for filing the return of income and necessary evidence of such payment was enclosed with the return of income....

....of accounting. At the same time, s. 43B (main section) made it mandatory for the Department to grant deduction in computing the income under s. 28 in the year in which tax, duty, cess, etc., is actually paid. However, Parliament took cognizance of the fact that accounting year of a company did not always tally with the due dates under the Provident Fund Act, Municipal Corporation Act (octroi) and other tax laws. Therefore, by way of first proviso, an incentive/relaxation was sought to be given in respect of tax, duty, cess or fee by explicitly stating that if such tax, duty, cess or fee is paid before the date of filing of the return under the IT Act (due date), the assessee(s) then would be entitled to deduction. However, this relaxation/incentive was restricted only to tax, duty, cess and fee. It did not apply to contributions to labour welfare funds. The reason appears to be that the employer(s) should not sit on the collected contributions and deprive the workmen of the rightful benefits under social welfare legislations by delaying payment of contributions to the welfare funds. However, as stated above, the second proviso resulted in implementation problems, which have been me....

....(P.) Ltd. etc. (supra), held that the first proviso was curative in nature, hence, retrospective in operation w.e.f. 1st April, 1988. It is important to note once again that, by Finance Act, 2003, not only the second proviso is deleted but even the first proviso is sought to be amended by bringing about an uniformity in tax, duty, cess and fee on the one hand vis- a-vis contributions to welfare funds of employee(s) on the other. This is one more reason why we hold that the Finance Act, 2003, is retrospective in operation. Moreover, the judgment in Allied Motors (P) Ltd. etc. (supra) is delivered by a Bench of three learned Judges, which is binding on us. Accordingly, we hold that Finance Act, 2003, will operate retrospectively w.e.f. 1st April, 1988 (when the first proviso stood inserted). Lastly, we may point out the hardship and the invidious discrimination which would be caused to the assessee(s) if the contention of the Department is to be accepted that Finance Act, 2003, to the above extent, operated prospectively. Take an example - in the present case, the respondents have deposited the contributions with the R.P.F.C. after 31st March (end of accounting year) but before filin....

.... that the reasoning of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Alom Extrusions Ltd. (supra) will equally to the amendment to Sec.40(a)(ia) of the Act whereby a second proviso was inserted in sub-clause (ia) of clause (a) of Section 40 by the Finance Act, 2012, w.e.f. 1-4-2013. The provisions are intended to remove hardship. It was argued on behalf of the revenue that the existing provisions allow deduction in the year of payment and to that extent there is no hardship. We are of the view that the hardship in such an event would be taxing an Assessee on a higher income in one year and taxing him on lower income in a subsequent year. To the extent the Assessee is made to pay tax on a higher income in one year, there would still be hardship. 27. As far as the appeal of the revenue is concerned, we find that the use of word "Payable", in Section 40(a)(ia) of the Act has created controversy as to whether payable includes amounts paid during the year. There were conflicting decisions rendered by the Tribunal. In the case of DCIT v. Ashika Stock Broking Ltd. reported in 44 SOT 556 the Hon'ble Kolkata ITAT has decided the matter in favour of revenue and after following its decis....

....e the assessee who though was required to deduct the tax at source but no such deduction was made or more flagrantly deduction though made is not paid to the Government, would escape the consequence only because the amount was already paid over before the end of the year in contrast to another assessee who would otherwise be in similar situation but in whose case the amount remained payable till the end of the year. There is no logic why the legislature would have desired to bring about such irreconcilable and diverse consequences. Secondly, the principle of deliberate or conscious omission is applied mainly when an existing provision is amended and a change is brought about. The Special Bench was wrong in comparing the language used in the draft bill to that used in the final enactment to assign a particular meaning to s. 40(a)(ia). Accordingly, Merilyn Shipping does not lay down correct law. The correct law is that s. 40(a)(ia) covers not only to the amounts which are payable as on 31st March of a particular year but also which are payable at any time during the year. The Hon'ble Kolkata High Court in Md.Jakir Hossai Mondal (supra) did not agree with the view of the Special B....

Ramulu Goud , Mr. B. Lakshminaraya Goud and Mr. Venkatesham Goud. The copies of the agreements for sale were found and impounded during the course of the survey proceedings conducted on 3.11.2008.

In this case the documents relied upon by the AO are neither executed nor signed and the sale deed relied upon by the appellant was rejected without bringing in any corroborative evidence, either found during the survey proceedings or collected in the subsequent proceedings, on the record. Further, the vendors, who were examined by the authorities concerned did not confirm the receipt of the higher amounts as envisaged by the AO, based on the recitals in agreements for sale. Thus, in the absence of any corroborative evidence, the unsigned agreement for sale alone may not convey the information, other than what has been incorporated in a registered document. 6.7. Further, the amount of consideration which was treated as unexplained investments in the hands of the appellant, as against assessability of the same in the hands of the two persons named in the sale deed i.e. Mrs. M. Sailaja and Mrs. Ch. Sandhya, is devoid of any basis. The AO held that the appellant failed to submit the copy of the sale deed so as to verify the claim of investments in the hands of Mrs. Ch.

....ues, nor the receipts for payments for cash were available with the A.O. to prove that the consideration paid is more than Rs. 68,89,250/- as indicated in the sale deed dated 15.08.2008. Further, the main reason attributed by the appellant for renegotiation of the price i.e., the location of the lands in FTL Zone of the local ponds was failed to be rebutted. Thus, it can be held that the cumulative conditions/circumstances were absent to bring the amounts based on the primary evidences such as unsigned agreements for sale, into the ambit of unexplained investments. Further, as discussed, the entire consideration is not relatable to the appellant alone where the name of Mrs Sandhya was mentioned as the coowner in the sale deed. Under the circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the addition of Rs. 68,89,250/- made on account of treating the difference in sale consideration as per the agreements for sale and the sale deeds do not survive, for lack of required evidence and for the reasons that the said addition is based on incorrect presumptions. Accordingly, this ground of appeal is treated as allowed." 17. After considering the rival contentions, we do not see any merit i....
